[Nfb-kzoo] Big stuff going on at the MCBTC.

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi Rhonda,

According to our research, Michigan law says that any gunwith a caliber of
.177  or less is not a firearm.  This was a gas operated pellet gun, no gun
powder and less than the definition of a firearm.

Best Regards,

Fred

Is anyone here close enough to the situation to share more details?

I have some questions. Some of this I can find out if I get the time to 
search on the net. But I'm not so sure pellet guns are considered firearms. 
Does anyone know? Also, why is Chris facing an investigation when it seems 
to me her superiors would have to approve the class before she could move 
forward.

This is, of course, due to someone finding out blind folks were being 
allowed to use guns and showing ignorance, well most likely. It is about our

rights to do these kinds of activities and have these types of experiences, 
even learn to defend ourselves if it is learned in a legal manner.

I'm completely against Christine taking the wrap for something I'm sure not 
only she had a say in. It seems to me if firearms are not permitted on state

property, someone knew that before this class was proposed. I highly doubt 
she would intentionally go against a policy and put her job in jeopardy, no 
matter what her beliefs are.

Rhonda
